Salt of the Earth
(1954)|
Director Herbert Biberman's prescient drama incited a furor upon its release with the political overtones in its story about the Mexican-Americans who went on strike to protest unsafe conditions and unfair treatment at New Mexico's Empire Zinc Mine. Presaging the civil rights and feminist movements, the 1954 film -- the only one blacklisted in American history -- paints a thought-provoking picture of the struggle by the miners and their families.
